Why, yes! I've had two involuntary weeks off......One was my fault, the other wasn't...... So what happened, or shouldn't I ask..? Week Off #1: I accidentally derailed a rail car full of grain. The company had to hire a construction crane to get it back on the tracks. Week Off #2: I defended myself against drunken loser abusive co-worker who physically assaulted me. I pointed my finger at him when I was accusing him; the Company said I made an "aggressive act" (pointing my finger). The loser got fired and I got a week off.....

Principled Man Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 QUOTE (CygnusGal @ Oct 12 2012, 06:06 PM) Grain elevator? Those can be pretty dangerous. I'm sure you're safe, but 97 hours in one week is a lot. Please take extra care - that's a lot of work. And you still find time to post on TRF - madman! It's all good. I only work insane hours a few weeks out of the year. Normally, I put in 48 a week......but that Sunday double-time does make my wallet happy.....
